- Who it's for
- Visa-exempt visitors traveling to Saint Kitts and Nevis, other than OECS citizens, who need an approved authorization before they board their flight or ship. A foreign spouse of a citizen still applies, and so does a diplomatic passport holder.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism, business, and other short visits. It is a single-entry authorization for one trip, so a return visit means a new application.
- Entry points
- Air and sea, since a two-island nation has no land border. Air passengers who stay inside the airport do not need one, and neither do same-day boat trips with no overnight stay and no onward flight.
- Delivery format
- The approval is digital and linked to your passport through facial biometric matching. There is no sticker or paper document to carry, and approved travelers can use the biometric fast-track corridor on arrival.
- Minors and groups
- Every foreign minor needs their own authorization, infants included, with a parent, guardian, or accompanying adult applying on their behalf. A group does not share one authorization, so each person files their own.
- Validity
- Valid for 90 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 90 days per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 15 minutes

Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a visa for Saint Kitts and Nevis?
No, if you are from a visa-exempt country (US, UK, Canada, EU, etc.) you don't need a visa for Saint Kitts and Nevis. However, you must have an approved ETA. If your country is not visa-exempt, you must apply for an eVisa online on the government website. Only citizens of Saint Kitts and Nevis, legal residents, and citizens of OECS Member States (Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent) don't need a visa or ETA to travel to Saint Kitts and Nevis.
What is the "e-Border" system?
The Saint Kitts and Nevis e-Border system combines the ETA (for security clearance) and the ED Form (for customs) into one single digital process.
How will I receive the Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA?
You will receive your Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA electronically, typically via email as a PDF confirmation or directly within the official St. Kitts and Nevis e-Border mobile app, which allows the authorization to be digitally linked to your passport number for automated verification at check-in and boarding. If you applied through iVisa, you can also find your documents in your dashboard.
How long can I stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis?
The length of your stay in Saint Kitts and Nevis depends on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. Most travelers receive up to 90 days. While the ETA is mandatory for entry, it is the immigration officer at the border who ultimately determines your specific stay duration.
What is the processing time of the Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA?
Government approval is usually immediate. With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay. You'll also get an expert review to avoid common mistakes.
Can I extend my ETA while I am in Saint Kitts and Nevis?
The ETA allows for the initial entry. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you must apply for an extension in person at the Saint Kitts and Nevis Immigration Department and pay an additional fee.
Do children/minors need a Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA?
Every traveler, including infants, must have their own ETA. Children under 2 years old are exempt from the government fee but still require a digital record.
I'm going to Saint Kitts and Nevis by cruise. Do I need an ETA?
No, cruise ship passengers visiting for a day trip (less than 24 hours) are typically exempt from the ETA requirement. However, we recommend checking the requirements with the cruise company.
What happens if my Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA application is denied?
If denied, you may need to apply for a visa instead. iVisa offers review services to ensure your application is submitted correctly the first time. We also offer denial protection as an optional add-on to your application. In some cases, our experts can help you reapply.
What are the most common reasons a Saint Kitts and Nevis ETA application is denied?
The most frequent reasons are mismatched passport details (typos in the passport number). iVisa's review process is designed to prevent these specific issues and errors.
